So Hang in there guys. Days like this are going to be here soon.

Anyone else have a spot?

Mine was the lake I fished at, arriving each morning was an experience, seeing the water like

a millpond, fish rising and ready for that first take on the lure. When I move to Texas will be finding something like that lake to have a new take on my fishing.

bk, sorry for the tears but they are tears of fond memories and missing of your Uncle John. But you two will fish again i am sure he has another bucket at the ready for you.

Don’t be sorry Plumb, they were tears of joy and remembering all the great times we shared together until we meet again.

My spot, I really enjoy pulling into this cove and just watching. Eagles, deer, raccoons, blue herons and many other critters visit this spot quite often and it's always a welcome spot just to forget the pains and ills of the day. Oh yea it's a great spot to catch a Smallmouth bass too, that's a plus. I don't look forward to the day I can't get there but this is where I intend to have my ashes scattered, hay might as well feed the fish I've been catching for so many years.

I have many special spots Plumb. Just about anywhere there's water, mountains and no people👍

This was one of my favorite spots
for early-season trout fishing back
in N.H. - Ferrin's Pond is a secluded, hike-in pond that now takes about
20 - 30 minutes to hike up to, as it
is at the crest of a small knoll ! It is only 18 acres and about 12 ft. deep, but a good spot for early-season
trout !

Back in the late-70s/early-80s
I could drive my 4x4 pick-up up that really rough, washed-out road and
just drop my small (10-ft.) jonboat
in right off the tailgate - a few years later they blocked vehicle access by dropping huge boulders across the road, so now it is strictly a hike-in location, which means that it is
usually very, very quiet ! There is
a trail that circles the pond in a
1.9 mile loop, so the pond can be waded from several different locations around its' perimeter !

Looks like a great spot and the seclusion is a plus. I can see why you picked this spot.

PB that reminds me of a spot I fished once last spring while searching for a boat. It's just over the border in MD. If I remember it's called Sunrise Pond. Small pond of maybe an acre, stocked with panfish, cats and trout with four or five park benches around it. Fished a little on the way home and talked to a couple old timers there. They explained it was set aside for over 65s and under 16s. Don't even need your bucket to sit on. I)l be back there in the spring.

So you can’t fish with your buddy or relatives unless they are a cellphone nut or an anti cellphone nut?

Nice spot. Luna (Granddaughter) an I stopped by yesterday an it looked beautiful with all the snow on. Didn't take a pic guess I dropped the ball on that 🤔 here is one from last summer

Whitey that little knoll on the waters edge is just calling for a lawn chair and and a forked stick stuck in the ground. Didn't need a winter picture, wishing for spring even more now.

Thanks for the pic.

Gmon Plum n everybody else. My favorite spot is any peaceful water. Be it a babbling mtn Brooke or a quiet cove on a lake. Water not only cleans our bodies it clears our minds. Y'all have a great day stay safe. 🌞🎣🎣🎣

Good pic Griz. Not just for the boys any more.
